Title: Mia, Oh Mia

Knight In A Tuxedo

*********************************

Mia tried to break free from her saviour's hold, but realised that she couldn't. There was something about him that made Mia want to stare at him forever.

" Need a hand?" her saviour the stranger asked again.

" What? Oh.yeah, thanks" said the blushing Mia as her saviour helped pull her to her feet.

"Er.er.thankyouverymuchforsavingmylife!" Mia said as fast as she could.

" No need to thank me, I would be obliged to save beauties like you."

" Er.er.erm." said the blushing Mia, at a loss for words.

A big burly man came out of nowhere and strode up to Mia's saviour.

" Prince Romell, where have you been? I have been searching all over the place for you!"

" I am very sorry, Enrique, I didn't know you were looking for me."

" It is ok, Prince Romell, but the limousine has come"

" Give me a minute and I'll be there"

" As you wish"

The big burly man lumbered to the shiny black limousine that had appeared out of the blue and got in.

" Your name is Romell?" asked Mia curiously.

" Yes, I know, it is a weird name right?" " And pry tell, what is your name?"

" Mia, Mia Themopolis" replied Mia.

" I see, I would love to chat some more but time forbids me to, so I shall have to take my leave now, good-bye Mia"

" Good-bye Romell and thanks again for saving my life."

Romell flashed her a winning smile before getting into the limousine.

In a flash, he was gone.

Wow, that guy was a total hunk. His hazel-brown eyes was filled with warmth, his smile so dazzling, his light brown hair with a touch of curliness made him look all the more boyish. His nose was perfect too. His ears just too cute for words. He was well tanned, making him look more suave. All in all, he was every girl's dream, every girl's knight in shinning armour, or knight in a tuxedo for this era.

But not for me, he's just my saviour that's all, my knight in a tuxedo is Michael!!!

Mia brightened up at the thought of seeing Michael tomorrow. How she longed to see him again, to smell his bath soap, to be in his arms, to tell him every bad thing that happened to her, to hear him comfort her, say sweet nothings to her made her the luckiest girl in the entire world.

Mia was very sad when Michael switched schools but at least they got to see each other every weekend. Michael switched schools to one where the rich went, why Mia didn't know. And it sort of hurt her to know that Michael would rather school with the rich and snobbish then go to school with her. The environment is better, Michael had said. Whatever. Mia had said. She was still sort of angry with Michael. But Michael had made up to her and Mia had let the matter rest.

Mia skipped all the way home, happy that the day wasn't that bad after all.

The next day-

Mia awoke bright and early, eager to meet her boyfriend again.

After going through her entire cupboard for ½ hours, Mia finally decided on a not too skimpy halter-top and plain old trusty jeans.

After applying some lip-gloss, she was ready to go. She raced down the stairs and made her way to the living room, where her mum was watching some TV.

Her mother had already calmed down and was no longer angry with Mia.

"Bye mum," said Mia cheerily.

"Bye honey, have fun and take care" her mum said and planted a kiss on Mia's cheek.

Within minutes, Mia was at the pier, where she was supposed to meet Michael.

Mia found herself an empty seat along the pier and settled herself nicely in it. Michael's probably reaching here already, Mia told herself.

But after half an hour, Michael was nowhere to be seen.

Where could he be? Mia thought. Has he forgotten about out date? Maybe I should call him?

No, Mia decided against it. She was afraid that Michael would come along and not seeing her, just turn back and go home.

So in the end, Mia waited for 30 more minutes.

Just as Mia was about to give up hope, Michael came strolling by, unaware of the time and unaware that he was late.

" Hey Mia," Michael said and he planted a kiss on Mia's forehead. He looked nice in pants, a white shirt and a red scarf tied around his neck. He smelled nice too.

" Michael!" Mia exclaimed, too happy for words. All that waiting had paid off. Mia looked at her boyfriend again, picturing this moment in her mind. As Michael inched closer, the strong wind blew and tugged at the scarf which revealed some marks on his neck.

" Michael, what are those marks on your neck?" Mia asked, pointing to the place.

" Wh-what? Oh, these, these are just insect bites, don't worry, I got them when I went camping" Michael said rather uneasily.

" Camping? How come you didn't tell me that over the phone?" asked Mia, hurt. It was obvious that Michael didn't tell her everything anymore.

" Oh, it uh, just slipped my mind, you know how school is, busy, busy, busy" he replied smoothly.

" Oh, I see" said Mia

But the more Mia scrutinised the marks, the more she believed that those weren't just ordinary insect bites.

They looked oddly familiar, thought Mia.

That's it! Lana had this when she went to school yesterday too!

So that means that these so-called insect bites are actually LOVE BITES!!!
